Goalkeeper could play for Leicester against Aston Villa on Saturday
Leicester City have announced the signing of the veteran goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer from Chelsea on a free transfer. The 42-year-old has joined on a one-and-a-half-year deal and is likely to go straight into the team with the regular No1 Kasper Schmeichel absent with a foot injury. Schwarzer was third choice at Stamford Bridge behind Thibaut Courtois and Petr Cech and had not played for the west London club this season. Schwarzer has made more than 500 appearances in the Premier League for Middlesbrough, Fulham and Chelsea, while he also played 109 times for Australia. Schwarzer, who played both legs of Chelsea’s Champions League semi-final with Atlético Madrid last season, could get the nod ahead of Ben Hamer for a starting place in Saturday’s home Premier League match with Aston Villa. Schwarzer is likely to be joined at Leicester by Andrej Kramaric, who is expected to complete his move from Rijeka soon. The Croatia striker is poised to sign a three-and-a-half year contract. Kramaric has scored two goals in four games for his country after starting his career with Dinamo Zagreb. Chelsea had been interested in the forward but they failed to agree terms with Rijeka after their initial offer. Source: Guardian
